PUNE: After allocating funds for the water supply scheme in the merged areas of Phursungi and Urali, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is now planning to earmark funds for four more such schemes meant for other merged villages to provide water to residents at their doorsteps.
The projects for Kondhwe, Dhavde and New Kopre areas are being executed by the state government’s Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP).
The standing committee is considering allotment of Rs14crore for these schemes and takeover of the projects as these villages are now part of the PMC.
A similar scheme is being executed for Wagholi and is likely to receive funds in the next few months.
Sachin Dodake, a corporator from Warje, said, “Faster execution of water supply schemes and construction of overhead water tanks are among the various projects that should be taken up on priority,” he added.
A standing committee member said, “We decided to allocate funds for Phursungi water supply scheme. Similar funds may be given for other schemes in a phased manner,” he added.
